THIS. that is all.

Foxes, White Coats (from the Warrior EP)

Let me just break this down…sometimes I’m really off my this is some hot music game and it takes television shows like Gossip Girl to get me back in the loop. This happened with The Naked And Famous way back when and it has happened with Foxes. If you saw Gossip Girl’s latest episode “Salon Of The Dead” and Serena hasn’t taken your blog hostage you are probably obsessed with FOXES right now and searching like a mad man (or woman) for any song you can listen to. The killer track “Youth” closed out the show. And if you loved that track you’ll also adore like no other the latest jam “White Coats” from Foxes’ upcoming EP “Warrior” which drops 6/18. I can’t wait to hear that EP.

“If empiricism is barren and incomplete, while impressionistic guesswork leads anywhere and everywhere, what hope can there be of arriving at a workable understanding of the human heart? In the words of Vladimir Nabokov, there can be no science without fancy and no art without facts. Love emanates from the brain; the brain is physical, and thus as fit a subject for scientific discourse as cucumbers or chemistry. But love unavoidably partakes of the personal and the subjective, and so we cannot place it in the killing jar and pin its wings to cardboard as a lepidopterist might a prismatic butterfly. In spite of what science teaches us, only a delicate admixture of evidence and intuition can yield the truest view of the emotional mind. To slip between the twin dangers of empty reductionism and baseless credulity, one must balance a respect for proof with a fondness for the unproven and the unprovable. Common sense must combine in equal measure imaginative flight and an aversion to orthodoxy.”

fucking fail KOMEN. FAIL.

planned parenthood means something to almost every woman i know.

during those tender teen years, when you first engaged in sexual discourse and were too embarrassed to talk to your parents about birth control.

to getting tested.

or the unfortunate mishaps of teen pregnancy.

STD testing.

HIV testing.

breast examinations.

counseling.

the lonely feeling subsiding once speaking to working professionals.

ones that helped when you couldn’t afford to go to a privately practiced OBGYN.

the women without health insurance.

i am so saddened by this turn of events, if i had the money to help fund, this organization would be at the tippity-top of my list.

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: After years of partnering with Planned Parenthood to offer low-income patients access to life-saving breast cancer screenings, Susan G. Komen for the Cure — a breast-cancer charity that has been known to sue small charities for using “for the cure” in their names — announced yesterday it would no longer fund those screenings.

The alleged reason? A newly instituted rule at Komen “that prohibits grants to organizations being investigated by local, state or federal authorities.”

While a congressional investigation against Planned Parenthood was launched by Florida Republican Cliff Stearns — a staunchly pro-life politician who called defunding Planned Parenthood a “fiscal and moral priority” — many supporters of Komen are failing to see the connection between abortions and breast-cancer screenings.

However, things get considerably clearer once it becomes known that Komen recently appointed Karen Handel, an “anti-choice” Georgia Republican who promised to defund Planned Parenthood, to serve as its SVP.

Taking Komen’s excuse — which includes the line “we must continue to evolve to best meet the needs of the women we serve and most fully advance our mission” — on its face becomes problematic when considering that all of the money granted to Planned Parenthood by Komen was being used to provide screenings to uninsured or underinsured women.

For the record, “abortion services” make up 3% of total services provided by Planned Parenthood. Cancer screening and prevention? 16%.

How can Komen claim to be acting in the best interest of women when it is actively denying many of them access to life-saving breast-cancer screenings that can’t get anywhere else? That’s what many on Komen’s Facebook page and message board would like to know.

They have been leaving angry messages denouncing Komen’s action since the news broke. Many are putting their pocketbook where their fingers are and donating money to Planned Parenthood that would have gone to Komen.

Over the past 24 hours Planned Parenthood has raised “hundreds of thousands” of dollars, and may have already surpassed the amount it would have received from Komen.
